Ceridust® 6721 is a micronized, amide modified polypropylene wax.

ACRYSOL™ RM-12WE Rheology Modifier is a nonionic rheology modifier designed to offer high low-shear viscosity with an extremely shear thinning rheology and excellent thickening efficiency. It offers a rheology profile similar to ACRYSOL™ RM-12WE Rheology Modifier but is prepared without intentionally adding tin compounds to the production process.

ACRYSOL™ RM-12W is a solvent-free, nonionic rheology modifier designed to offer high low-shear viscosity with an extremely shear thinning rheology and excellent thickening efficiency. Unlike conventional thickeners, ACRYSOL™ RM-12W offers excellent sag resistance with minimal effect on flow and leveling. While not capable of providing true thixotropy, it can offer advantages typical of thixotropes. These properties include improved brush/roller loading, good anti-drip properties, good in-can structure, and excellent flow, sag balance.

ACRYSOL™ SCT-275 Rheology Modifier is an efficient nonionic polyethylene oxide(HEUR) associative rheology modifier which can impart excellent rheological properties including flow and leveling, uniform film formation and film build, to latex based coatings. ACRYSOL™ SCT-275 Rheology Modifier is recommended for use in flat to semigloss paints and primers for both exterior paints and premium interior paints.It is especially suited to replace or be blended with conventional cellulosic thickeners where improved flow and leveling, increased hiding, and spatter resistance is desired. ACRYSOL™ SCT-275 Rheology Modifier is particularly suited for low solids, vinyl acrylic formulations where it yields excellent flow/sag balance, color acceptance, and syneresis resistance. ACRYSOL™ SCT-275 Rheology Modifier is supplied as a low viscosity liquid that is easy to handle and incorporate in the paint making process.

ACRYSOL™ RM-8W Rheology Modifier is a solvent-free, nonionic, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier that offers excellent flow and leveling, uniform film formation, gloss development and high thickening efficiency in interior and exterior latex paints. It can be used in combination with a high-shear builder such as ACRYSOL RM-3000 Rheology Modifier to reach a desired balance of high and low shear viscosity in flat through gloss formulations.

CRAYVALLAC® SF is a proprietary amide-modified hydrogenated castor oil rheology modifier with an enhanced tolerance to temperature and solvent strength suitable for a variety of different solvent-based systems e.g. aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbon/alcohol blends. Compared to other hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers, CRAYVALLAC® SF is more tolerant to strong solvents and high processing temperatures due to the presence of its unique performance enhancing amide. The activation process constitutes the conversion of the CRAYVALLAC® SF particles to an interacting network of fibre-like particles. It is this network that gives rise to the final coating’s shear thinning rheology. This shear thinning characteristic provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application.
